An associate in my law practice is leaving the firm. He is going to send letters to firm clients and I am going to send letters and give them a choice as to whether they want to remain with the firm or with the departing associate. Can I telephone the clients also?

The answer is clearly yes. Any time a lawyer leaves a firm, it creates a very difficult time for the law firm, and clients are sometimes placed in the middle. The departing associate or partner obviously wants as many clients to go with him or her as possible. The firm, similarly, would like to maintain those clients.
